Oracle Data Mining for Text, Clustering, and Classification: Case Study of the Oracle OpenWorld Recommendation Engine
Mark Hornick – Oracle Data Mining Development – Oracle

Returning from Oracle OpenWorld 09, some of the hot topics for data mining include text mining, document clustering, and recommendation engines. Learn how Oracle Data Mining was used in the Schedule Builder application at Oracle OpenWorld 2008 and 2009 to generate session recommendations and find similar and related sessions. This session includes a demonstration using the advanced text mining features of the Oracle Data Miner user interface. We also characterize recommendation effectiveness using objective test metrics and summarize recommendation usage.

Presenter:
Mark Hornick is Senior Manager, Data Mining Development, in Oracle’s Server Technology organization. He has many years experience in data mining and is a leader of the JSR-73 standards body for data mining. Mark wrote the book  Java Data Mining: Strategy, Standard and Practice.
